How do you Cardiovert on lifepak?

To perform synchronized cardioversion:

1. Press. ON.
2. Attach patient ECG cable and ECG electrodes as previously described (see “Monitoring the ECG” on page 4-3).
3. Select. Lead.
4. Press. SYNC.
5. Observe the ECG rhythm.
6. Connect the therapy electrodes to the therapy cable and confirm cable connection to the.

Is Lifepak 20 biphasic or monophasic?

Like your monophasic devices, all LIFEPAK defibrillators with ADAPTIV biphasic technology deliver energies up to 360J, so your staff can use dosing protocols consistent with the pre- Guidelines monophasic protocols they are familiar with.

When to use the LIFEPAK 20 AED mode?

The AED mode is to be used only on patients in cardiopulmonary arrest. The patient must be unconscious, pulseless, and not breathing normally before using the defibrillator to analyze the patient’s ECG rhythm. In AED mode, the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor is not intended for use on pediatric patients less than 8 years old. Contraindications

How does the LIFEPAK 20E shock advisory system work?

Operator Considerations The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor, when in AED mode, is a semiautomatic defibrillator that uses a patented Shock Advisory System™. This software algorithm analyzes the patient’s electrocardiographic (ECG) rhythm and indicates whether or not it detects a shockable rhythm.

What happens to the capacitor on a LIFEPAK 20 defibrillator?

If the defibrillator determines low impedance values, either due to actual patient impedance or shorted paddles, the Lifepak 20 defibrillator/monitor will disarm the capacitor and automatically recharge to a lower energy setting.

What are the specs of the I LIFEPAK 20?

SPECIFICATIONS I LIFEPAK 20 Defibrillator/Monitor ADAPTIV Biphasic Technology The 20 is equipped with ADAPTIV biphasic technology, which adjusts the shock waveform duration and voltage based on the patient’s impedance level. In AED mode, the device can provide escalating shocks (200–360 joules), depending on the patient’s needs.
